Maytag Refrigerator MSD2659KEB Fridge too warm

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
• The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Thermistor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators and freezers. This component plays a role in monitoring and controlling the temperature within your appliance. A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance changes with temperature changes, allowing the refrigerator's control system to accurately maintain the desired cooling levels based on the readings it provides. 

Causes of a bad thermistor can include wear and tear from constant use, exposure to extreme temperatures that can damage the component, or electrical issues such as short circuits.

Symptoms of a bad Thermistor Kit include:

• The refrigerator or freezer is too cold or not cold enough
• The appliance cycles on and off more frequently or for longer periods than normal
• Unexplained changes in temperature settings

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils, which helps to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It operates at a power requirement of 115V, 60Hz, and 0.14A, featuring a shaft that measures 1/8" in diameter and 5/8" in length. 

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from continuous use, or obstruction from debris that hinders the fan's movement. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to uneven cooling and compromised performance of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Unusual noises coming from the fan area
• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This evaporator defrost heater melts frost from the evaporator coil during the automatic defrost cycle to restore airflow and stable temperatures. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent ice buildup that restricts cooling and leads to warm spots. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil to clear frost/ice during defrost
• Helps maintain proper airflow between freezer and fresh food sections
• Typical symptoms: heavy frost on the back panel/evaporator, weak cooling or rising temperatures
• Also cause evaporator fan noise from ice contact and longer run times

• 1 evaporator defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any ice to thaw
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; avoid damaging fins or refrigerant lines
• Secure the heater and route wires exactly as original, keeping them clear of the fan and sharp edges
• Restore power and verify the defrost cycle per the service procedure

The Damper Control is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It regulates the airflow between the freezer and refrigerator compartments, maintaining the appropriate temperatures in each section. This component ensures that cold air is distributed properly, contributing to the overall efficiency and performance of the refrigerator.

Common causes of a bad damper control can include wear and tear over time, electrical failures, or mechanical obstructions. A malfunctioning damper control can lead to temperature imbalances, affecting the preservation of food.

Symptoms of a bad damper control include:

• Inconsistent temperatures between the freezer and refrigerator
• Freezer overly cold while the refrigerator is too warm, or vice versa
• Frost buildup in the refrigerator compartment
• Unusual noises coming from the damper area

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Door Closure Kit is an OEM replacement part  for Whirlpool refrigerators. The kit includes all the necessary parts to ensure your refrigerator door closes and seals properly - including two black and two white cams used for both the door and the hinge. 

Over time, door closure mechanisms can wear down from continual opening and closing motions. The cushions compress and arms lose tension. Without a tight seal, cold air can escape raising energy costs.

Symptoms of a bad door closure kit include:

• Doors not closing or sealing fully 
• Difficulty closing doors that don't latch securely
• Noticeable cool air loss around door edges
• Frost buildup indicating air leakage

It is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
